Chapter 60: On the eve of the release
Of course, while Roland draws nourishment from the trucker, he does not forget the task given to him by his good brother James.
With the arrival of Halloween, James Olsen's constant urging, early this morning, Roland who came out of the house carried a bunch of autographed books on his back, carrying the souvenirs he had just brought from David's collection last night, and came to the set in a hurry.
When he put the must-have beeps in major film and television dramas and novels, and sold the best wine that has not been sold out for many years, the market price will be more than 70,000 a bottle in the future (?). After the 82-year-old Lafite, who was called bad by the son of death, gave it to the truck driver, the guy who was lying on the table, holding his cheek with one hand, looking at today's shooting schedule, was a little surprised.
"Roland, are you remembering the wrong day?"
"It's Halloween and not Christmas Eve, how did you bring me something?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the outer packaging, "Château Lafite?" Nineteen eighty-two? ”
"Isn't that what makes Robert Parker step on the red wine that Robert Feegan is on top?"
"You didn't buy this, did you? Did you steal it from home? ”
Although the truck driver's perception of red wine is far less strong than that of diving, the name of Lafite in '82 is too big, and the big one is enough to change the wine rating system.
Steal? Can the things of the reader be called stealing?
Roland secretly scolded himself in his heart, and in the face of Cameron's puzzled looks, his expression was naturally not pretentious, without any psychological pressure, "James, what are you thinking?" Do I need to do that kind of thing? ”
"Happy Halloween, this is what David asked me to bring to you."
"In his words, it is to thank you for teaching me this month, because the movie is in the filming stage, and inviting you to a backyard party at this time may interfere with the filming progress of the crew, so I will give a small gift to express my gratitude."
Although Roland spoke seriously, his nonsense words were not accepted by Cameron.
He looked at Roland with a scrutinizing gaze, and the distrust in his eyes was vividly displayed-
'Come on, just make it up, go on!' I see what else you can say......
You know, Cameron is Canadian!
Every year on Halloween, Mass is celebrated in parts of Scotland and Canada to commemorate all the saints in the day!
Compared with this traditional way of commemoration, the behavior of those merchants who make up demons and monsters to go to the street to ask for candy for commercial interests is completely contrary to the sacred meaning of Halloween at the beginning!
Even Cameron has never publicly expressed his faith.
But in order to avoid controversy, insiders basically won't drag him to participate in any Halloween celebrations.
After all, no one knows if his 'goodwill' behavior will cause disgust to this grumpy guy.
It's a pity -
Roland: He doesn't know!
He thought that Halloween was when his father took a Yangtze River No. 7 and went to the street to cast spells, shouting 'Demons and monsters leave quickly'......
Seeing that Cameron didn't mean to respond, Roland, who was stared at by the other party, was a little weak-hearted, and after a stalemate of more than ten seconds, he was defeated, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Okay, isn't it because "Home Alone" is going to be released this month?" ”
"James Olsen, who lives next door to me, has helped me get a lot of publicity out at school."
"He encouraged my former classmates to go to the theater to support me after the movie was released."
"It was because of this topic that he provoked that my old classmates remembered the news that I was filming Terminator 2 with you - you have a lot of fans in my school, and they want to get your autograph, so-"
"James just grabbed a bottle of wine from his dad's collection and wanted you to satisfy your fans."
The twists and turns of the words are full of many logical errors.
But even so, Cameron, who understood, still laughed.
"Want an autograph?"
"I thought you were trying to solve the problem and want to embarrass me."
"Take the wine back and ask James to give it back to his dad."
"Take out the autograph book, and I'll sign it for you before it's early."
Truck drivers have begun to teach Roland how to film, and things like signing are naturally not a problem.
For him, his previous caution was all about worry.
Because he was afraid that Roland would have something strange enough to make him roll his eyes and scold.
Since he knew that Roland had come to ask for an autograph this morning, he naturally didn't have to worry about yelling before filming started.
"If you don't accept the drink, then I'll have to give Linda [Hamilton]......" Roland added slowly as he handed over the autograph.
Hearing him say this, Cameron suddenly said speechlessly: "Okay, let's keep this wine." ”
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and give me the notebook."
However, when he picked up the pen, took the autograph book handed by Roland, and turned the first page—
The smile on his face suddenly froze.
I wish you a happy day. – Roland Allen'
o_O
???
What?
What the hell is this?
With a puzzled mood, after turning the second page-
'I'll be back——Arnold Schwarzenegger'
╰_╯
?????
You're playing with me, aren't you?
Looking at the first page with Roland's blessing, the second page has the governor's signature, and only the third page is still blank -
Cameron's first reaction was that Roland might have been wrong.
But the question is-
When he picked up the second book that Roland took out and opened it again in order, the exact content made him blow his nose.
"Roland, are you sure your old classmates are all my fans?"
Cameron looked at Roland with a smile and asked clearly, "Are you sure you didn't get the wrong autograph?" ”
"Nope!" Roland, who had not yet reflected, shook his head like a rattle.
"Can you explain what the first two pages of signatures are?"
Cameron shook the words on his autograph book in front of Roland.
Looking at the incomparably clear words, Roland didn't feel that there was anything wrong with these signatures-
"Oh, you say that, they're fans of me and Arnold too!"
Hehe......
You've got a big face......
To say this on Halloween is to deceive the ghost.
You kid movie hasn't been released yet, and those kids are going to ask you for autographs?
Are all the kids nowadays insightful, or are they stupid?
I'll believe only one Arnold's signature, but you-
Save it!
Cameron felt that he had seen the essence of the matter, and it was definitely Roland who wanted to get some chips from himself in order to make James better encourage those old classmates in the school to go to the movies......
Describe a red fruit deal as the love of fans?
You're there!
Want to do favors with Lao Tzu's signature?
Dream on you!
"No, no, no, I'm going to film."
He threw his autograph on the table, grabbed his cap and buttoned it up on his head, and waved his sleeves so that he would not take away a single cloud.
Looking at the figure that left suddenly, Roland, who kept picking up the autograph book from the outside, was stunned for a moment.
What's going on with this guy?
Isn't it good to promise?
How is it that in the blink of an eye, the attitude has changed?
Didn't I just mention Linda Hamilton, even if you are tired of it, you don't have to do that!
If Roland knew what the other party really thought, then he would definitely shout, 'The concubine is wronged!' ’
He just wants to buy one and get one free, to give back to his old classmates, there is really no meaning of trading!
Unfortunately, no matter what he thinks, the matter is a foregone conclusion.
Except for the ink treasure left on Roland's signed collector's book, Cameron did not sign anything else.
After a few attempts, Roland returned the pile of autographs to James and told him that Cameron thought he was selling autographs and refused to sign them.
James didn't think much of this answer.
Even if it was only Schwarzenegger's name, he could sell the autograph.
However, when he sent Roland away with a smile on his face, he couldn't wait to open the cardboard box and want to check the ink treasure inside.
The name left on the homepage made him stunned-
Holding up the autograph book, James jumped directly to the gate of Roland's house.
Immediately, there was a knock on the door, like thunder, surging over.
“Fuck! Rowland! Get the hell out of here! Did I get you to sign this? ”
"And 'I wish you a happy day'? How do you ask me to sell the book...... Send it out! ”
"Do you want them to go to the theater to see your movie? Explain it to me! ”
The roar like a raging lion made Garneti, who was at home with the baby, shake her head again and again.
I opened the window, leaned out, and glanced next door.
When she found that her son seemed to be crazy and kept slamming on the door of Roland's house, a helpless smile clinged to her cheeks.
"Mom, brother, what is he doing? Why did he yell at Brother Roland? ”
Ashley and Mary, who were playing at home, also heard James's words.
When little Loli raised her head and asked Ganetti, Ganetti, who had already retracted her body, smiled and said, "Maybe Roland was bullied by your brother again......"
"Leave them alone, let them make trouble......"
"Come, let's continue to play with my sister......"
Although Roland's matter of leaving ink on the autograph book made James's great business of making (exchanging) money (book) bankrupt, after deflating, he only gave Roland a few words, and then he worked hard to help promote it in the school.
After more than a month of warm-up, since the time entered November, the advertisement of "Home Alone" has been completely rolled out, with posters with Roland as the protagonist plastered all over the streets and alleys, and the treatment of the male number one has been vividly reflected.
Not only that, even if Roland didn't have time to go to the promotion, in the interviews and programs arranged by the promoter, from producer John Hughes to co-actor Daniel Stern, they all praised Roland according to the process.
Although the behavior of the male number one not participating in the publicity is indeed a bit inconsistent with the rules of the industry, but considering that Spielberg, who has not made public news so far, neither the investor nor the producer has any objections, not to mention, even if Roland did not appear, Focus's publicity department still contacted Cameron, and their special reporter directly photographed two heads, one large and one small, coming to the monitor to watch the shooting, and then the adults were still dancing at the children's strokes to explain the picture.
When this on-set video was exposed on FOX's program, the host asked in an exaggerated tone: "Chris, according to the information we have received, Roland Allen, who is participating in the filming of "Terminator 2", seems to be very studious? Is he curious and interested in the art of film? ”
"Yes, when we were filming Home Alone before, he also sat next to me and participated in the whole filming." Columbus on the show nodded, "He is different from the little actors I have been in contact with before, he is like a sponge, constantly absorbing knowledge from the outside world, no matter who the other party is, no matter what field the other party is good at, as long as the other party has free time and time, he will tentatively ask, it is because of this that we work together very happily......"
"Will his inquiry cause you any trouble?" The host was full of curiosity and concern: "As far as I know, in order to ensure their absolute right to speak in the crew, many directors will be very disgusted with those who ask questions, because they will feel that this behavior of the actors is challenging their own status......"
"No, no, no...... Roland's situation is different from what you said. Columbus hurriedly denied it, "Roland's original intention is to improve himself and make the movie well, if his question is wrong, after we explain the reason to him, he will also apologize on the spot, if you don't believe it, this video is proof, even James Cameron can endure his inquiry, will anyone doubt that he is making trouble on the set?" If he was really making trouble, James would have thrown him out long ago......"
"Yes." Joe Pesci also took over the conversation and said: "After all, James's temper, everyone knows that even if we have the ability, we can't let him cooperate with such a picture......
When the FOX program aired, Amerika added the following, and the interest in Roland became even stronger.
Because no matter how much other people are blowing, it is impossible to change the fact that Cameron is an old stubborn.
And in this case, that kid actually conquered him?
This is probably the best advertisement.
Can the protagonist of Home Alone move Cameron?
After this news appeared, the North American Cinema Alliance directly increased the movie schedule on November 16 by three points.
Not famous?
Not enough coffee seats?
Then ......
Leverage your strength!
In Hollywood, all the problems you encounter are because the coffee slot is too small.
When you reach a big enough hand, the whole circle will revolve around you.
Of course, for Roland now, none of this matters.
He only hoped that on the 16th, he would come soon.
